The Rubber Trust is the latest corner
in speculation that has been reported: 1t
involves the control of the entire rubber
industry in America. 1t does away with
two hundred importers, controls the
wages OF twenty five thousand employees
and regulates the price of every rubber
article in the market. 1t will probably
prove a good thing for its members but as
with all other monopolies disadvantage

Although the object of the formation OF
the Butler Club at BOSTON is stated to be
'.to afford the men who love and honor
Gen. Butler a chance to meet him occa-
sionally in social intercourse no more and
no less" yet from the complexion of the
membership of the club there are good
reasons to suspect that the object which
prompts all this enthusiasm over the Cen
eral may be something very different.
Idolatry in politics has always deep sig
nificance and by putting this and that to-
gether it is not difficult to guess what is
the meaning of all this thus-ness.

Ten Years of Faithful Service.

On the evening of August 28tb, 1877
about twenty-five gentlemen met at the
Police headquarters for the purpose of re-
organizing the Hook and Ladder Company
which had been previously disbanded. It
was presided over by Capt. Jas. H. Wa
tiers, lat that tins Chief Engineer of the Fire
Department, and j. E. Herndon acted as
Secretary pro TEN. Among those preent
were Col. VI. l.. Bumgardner, Judge J. M.
Quares, Capt. ]. M. Hardy, Messrs. Nj. n.
Bradley, B. F. Terry, J. W. B. Parker,
VIM. Mahoney, Herbert Stiff, B. B. Dull,
J. M. Stutz. John H. Wehn, Charles Z.
Hudson, j. J. Murphy, N. G. fuller, T.
R. Blackburn, J. B. Taylor, VIM. Hyer.
M. Bunch, A. Grubert, $. Gibbs, Jas. A.
Wehn, G. G. Wheat, W. Hazelgrove, D.
q. Barkman, and others. On that same
evening the reorganization was perfected,
by the election of Capt. Jno. M. Hardy as
First Commander and full set of
officers
Since that evening, nearly ten years ago,
many changes have taken place, some of
the old members have been laid IN their
last resting PRACTITIONERS cemetery,
while others have left the city and made
their home in other localities, and che re-
naming old membership, with few excep-
tions, have given place to younger men in
the ranks. Only four of the original men,
bers are now in active seryice-Messrs. M
N. Bradley, Treasurer of the Company
since its reorganization, and B. f. Terry,
J. J. Murphy, and John II. Wehn, these
gentlemen having served as Commander
during the last decade.
The members Of the company have al
ways been on the watch and responded
promptly to the call of the first toll of the
Fire Bell. Capt. N. j.. Wehn is now First
Commander, and finer set of young gen
tlememen to mar ouvre the Hook and
Ladder Truck is hard to find in a city of
our size. On August Both, which is their
10th anniversary, we hope they we'll cele-
brate the event in beftting manner.

CLEVELAND'S LETTER.

That letter of Cleveland is breezy one;
it blows from the noble perch, strong
men-men with height, depth and who
stand up straight with men planted on the
earth and covering good, wide foothold
on it. 1t is refreshing change to have
in the Presidential chair Man instead of
Politician. A Politician with the envl-
ronment of an awkward situation crawls
all around the pickets to find hole out,
hoping if he finds the right one that the
People will applaud the astuteness of the
disappearing coat tails, and fearing If he
strikes the wrong hole the People will aid

Man walks straight towards it, at his full
height. tears away two or three pickets
and is outside. The Man is Cleveland.
He has torn down the pickets of several
environments since he took the Presiden-
cy. He tore down the Texas Relief Bill =,
and as he stepped out remarked: 1.-THE
people must support the government, but
9he government does not support the peo-
ple." He kicked down two Or three panels

HER JUBILEE.

Queen Victoria celebrated the fiftieth
year of her reign with great display of
Kings and Princes md troops and cheer
ing people. She. is model woman, a
queen among women-for goodness, for
home love, for husband love, for mother
love. But she is not a model queen among
her people. just as the long kilograms of
the Jubilee appeared in our newspapers
we had turned over the last page Of Justin
McCarty's book on Ireland. It is impos-
sible to comprehend how people, truly
great people in governing themselves,
shall have governed Ireland as it has. No
man who thinks or speaks lightly of the
wrongs of Irelandn should do so
without reading history of those
wrongs. For centuries-take the nearest
American illustration at hand-she has
been governed worse and more cruelty
than the South was in the days of Recon
struction. And when we. remember that.
a man who went through the Reconstruc-
ton days will meyer have light word 70
say of the wrongs of Ireland-nor many
sympathetic words to say of the Queen IS

DIR. McGLYNN'S EXCOMnUNICA.
TON

DIR. McGlynp is undoubtedly good
man, and good preacher, but he is not
goed Catholic. And if we may Judge from
his speech Saturday night to the tremend-
Gus popular demonstrations in New York
brought out by his accommodation by
the Pope. it has been a long time since he
has 5een believer in the Holy Father
and general ecclesiastical machinery of
that church. AS matter of fact he has
not been driven out for disbelief in the
doctrines of the church but for refusal of
obedience to his superiors. To an ordina-
~ observer, it would appear that the
Archbishop of DR.. McGlynn's parish is
something of a martinez, who forced Nc
Glynn iHjudiclousiy. but the forcing had
to be supported by the Pope. The result
is that the pugnacious DR.. is debarred from
the sacraments and after death shall not
receive Christian burial-a very grave sit
uation in the eyes of deyout Catholic.
But, the way in which the event was
received is worthy of consideration. When
twelve thousand men gather to listen to
| and cheer one mantle larger part of
whom agree with him in religious doc
trines, and also in his opposition to the
Head of the Church that teaches. and has
| for centuries taught those doctrines, it
| means something for the future-it is an
| i'll omen for future obedience to an eccle.
| siastical head located in a foreign land.
There has been no church in America
more loyal to the government, or which
| put more soldiers in the field to fight for
it than the Catholic. and individual Cath
olics are as touchy about American liberty
IS the members of any religious organiza-
| ton in the land. This accommodation
while technically for disobedience, had
, its root in a priest being forbidden to ex-
press political opinions which he held, and
this-the stretching Of a long arm from
Rome to New York to deal with an Anne
rican priest for expressing his opinions
will prove the seed of great revolution
in the feelings of American Catholics on
this point. A significant symptom of the
immense demonstration 10 New York, was
that Henry George, who was present, was
hardly noticed-it was all for McGlynn.
1t will bring this question perma-
nently forward for discussion in this
country, and when free people,
jealous of their political rights commence
to discuss, then the Man at the Wheel
should stop to listen.
